[MassHistPres] Query: tooling on stone

[Dennis De Witt]

Here is the tomb.  Tim Orwig called our attention to it.

I too would be interested if anyone knows of similar work.

I’ve never seen the like before. But perhaps members of this listserv have seen something similar, and it needn’t be on a mill. Dennis DeWitt noticed that the decoration on a tomb in a North Weymouth cemetery is similar, although I don’t know the date of it:http://www.flickr.com/photos/25850135@N02/4552520351/in/photostream/
